Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” remains the biggest song in the world, as it notches a fourth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 and a third week atop Billboard Global Excl. U.S.
Meanwhile, Morgan Wallen adds two Global 200 top 10s, led by “What I Want,” featuring Tate McRae, from his new album, I’m the Problem, which launches at No. 1 on the U.S.-based Billboard 200 with the year’s biggest week by equivalent album units.

The Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts, which began in September 2020, rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by Luminate. The Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data and the Global Excl. U.S. chart comprises data from territories excluding the United States.
Chart ranks are based on a weighted formula incorporating official-only streams on both subscription and ad-supported tiers of audio and video music services, as well as download sales, the latter of which reflect purchases from full-service digital music retailers from around the world, with sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites excluded from the charts’ calculations.
“Ordinary” leads the Global 200 with 69.7 million streams (up 1% week-over-week) and 11,000 sold (down 5%) worldwide May 16-22.
“Die With a Smile” holds at No. 2 on the Global 200, after 18 weeks at No. 1 starting last September (second only to the 19 weeks at No. 1 for Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” since the chart began); ROSÉ and Bruno Mars’ “APT.” repeats at No. 3, after 12 weeks at No. 1 starting in November; and Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” keeps at No. 4, following three weeks at No. 1 last August.
Wallen’s “What I Want,” featuring McRae, debuts at No. 5 on the Global 200 with 39.3 million streams and 2,000 sold worldwide. Plus, his “Just in Case” hits the top 10 for the first time, at No. 9 (surging from No. 56), with 32.1 million streams (up 83%) and 3,000 sold (up 53%) worldwide. Wallen ups his count to five career Global 200 top 10s and McRae, two; her “Greedy” led the list for two weeks in November-December 2023.
Also in the Global 200’s top 10, JIN’s “Don’t Say You Love Me” enters at No. 7 (42.8 million streams, 32,000 sold worldwide). Here’s an updated count of BTS members’ Global 200 top 10 totals as soloists: Jung Kook (five); Jimin, JIN (three each); V (two); and Suga (one). BTS boasts 11 top 10s as a group.
